The more space allowed, the more airy the "s" sounds. The "s" we use in English and Hebrew today uses the tip of our tongue to make a tight opening and a sharper "s" sound.<BR/><BR/>Seeing as the "sh" in Shin is itself more airy sounding, I have wondered if the "s" in Sin should also be airy sounding...so somewhere between a Samech and a Shin...a Sin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-57347209879168416562008-08-25T13:36:00.000+03:002008-08-25T13:36:00.000+03:00Thanks, I'll take a look at it if I find it.I'd be...Thanks, I'll take a look at it if I find it.<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested to see how one can come to a conclusion regarding proper vowel sounds, like between an Ashkenazi and Teimani segol.גילויhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600628881119650305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-72910964857270519432008-08-25T12:08:00.000+03:002008-08-25T12:08:00.000+03:00There's a book I looked at a while back by R' Benz...There's a book I looked at a while back by R' Benzion Kohen called Sefat Emet, in which he does a marvelous "birur" of the pronunciation of Hebrew. What he did is very important, as it amounts to part of the process of taking the language itself out of galut.<BR/><BR/>He brings many very strong proofs to buttress his claims.<BR/><BR/>The result is a kind of blend between the traditional Iraqi/Bavli pronunciation and the Temani one.Michahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850094101476338498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-79876626142291404082008-08-19T16:45:00.000+03:002008-08-19T16:45:00.000+03:00The dot in a heh is not called a dagesh but rather...The dot in a heh is not called a dagesh but rather a mapik, it is to indicate that a heh is pronounced at all at the end of a word.<BR/><BR/>The dot on top of the Sin/Shin is not called a dagesh either.<BR/><BR/>The mere existence of the Sin/Shin difference is problematic, it is the only case where two letters are pronounced the same (Samech and Sin).גילויhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600628881119650305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-79988065757350177592008-08-19T16:40:00.000+03:002008-08-19T16:40:00.000+03:00In Hebrew, there are 6* letters which have differe...In Hebrew, there are 6* letters which have different pronunciation, depending on whether or not there is a dagesh in the letter.<BR/><BR/>What about the letter HEH?<BR/>And perhaps the letter SHIN/SIN?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
